What the FAA is doing at your airport, as it happens
Ground stopsFree
When the FAA stops flights to your airport, you get a message with the reason and the planned end time, then another when it is extended or lifted.
Airport closuresFree
Closures at your airport, with when they started and when the FAA expects the airport to reopen.
Ground delay programsPremium
When the FAA slows arrivals instead of stopping them, you get the average delay, plus a message when the program changes or is cancelled.
Posted delay timesPremium
The FAA's arrival and departure delay range at your airport and whether it is growing. Set a threshold so you only hear about delays over, say, 30 minutes.
Your whole tripPremium
Watch up to 10 airports, a whole region or the entire country: your connection, your destination and the airport you fly home from.
Only what matters
Routine updates are filtered out and alerts are capped each day, so your phone only buzzes when something really changes. Stop anytime.
How your delay alerts work
Alerts arrive in Telegram, a free messaging app like WhatsApp or iMessage. We watch the FAA's live status feed for your airport and message you the moment a ground stop or closure starts, changes or ends.
Telegram has copycat accounts. This is the only official one. It never asks for payment details; Premium is billed by Telegram itself.
